Let's get one thing out of the way: Frankenstein is the name of the evil scientist, not the monster! Many people make that mistake. Us copywriters write all day and naturally spend a lot of our free time reading so this is very important to us! We wanted to make sure you knew this before you got this fantastic Vintage Frankenstein costume because it's one thing to scare people with how it looks (and it looks pretty dang scary) but it's just nothing compared to how terrifying fictional inaccuracies are. We want to scare people into screaming and running away so we can steal their candy, not petrify them with fear so much that they drop dead. And that's exactly what incorrect character names will do to them. Leave that to the real monsters. They're specialists that need jobs just like us.

This costume just needs a little extra makeup, a clunky pair of shoes and a couple bolts screwed into your noggin* and it you'll be the scariest reanimated corpse on the block! So, remember, when people yell at you all night on Halloween, "Hey Frankenstein!" you can politely walk up to them, bend down, and correct them. They may just run away screaming because you look so scary, but you'll at least have done your part to dispel such a prominent myth! If she could, Mary Shelley herself would thank you. *We would recommend glue or some other type of adhesive to put the bolts onto your noggin instead of actually screwing them in (it's just that we're silly and like our brains how they are).
